An SMS message that lets hackers take over iPhones remotely is set to be exposed at a Black Hat conference.
The flaw allows the hacker to gain access to nearly all access of the phone, meaning the camera, browser and phone functions can be remotely used.
Charlie Miller, the security researcher who uncovered the flaw (along with fellow researcher Collin Mulliner) says he has notified Apple to the problem, and the company hasn't (yet) responded with a patch.
The hack works by sending 512 text messages to a phone (although only one is visible) and then using an exploit in software to let the code from the text overrun into other parts of the phone.
Unknown attacker
The symbol on the one message could actually be changed to anything, so the person wouldn't know they've been the victim of an attack.
The hack will then use the phone to send texts to other users, meaning if left unchecked it could easily spread around the world.
The duo both say they've given Apple more time than ever to respond to the attack, yet it hasn't released a patch, so will be going ahead and revealing the exploit.
They've also found a similar problem with Windows Mobile, but admit they only found that last week and haven't notified Microsoft as yet.

The Robot Arm looks fantastic, and defanetly is a great toy and a fun educational tool as well! It will definitely get people arguing over who has the next go!
Some products really capture your imagination and this is one of them! The Robot Arm reminds me of the ones commonly found in car manufacturers all across the world and is a great gift for so many people and for so many reasons!
The wired control robot arm kit comes disassembled so it's an ideal way to learn about basic robotic technology. If you know anyone that wants to come up with the next great invention then this would be a perfect way to get them started. It has five motors, all controlled via the handset which allows you amazing, precession movements.
It has a maximum lift weight of 100g, an opening gripper capable of grasping anything up to 1.7'' in width, a 120 degree wrist pivot, a 300 degree elbow motion, a 180 degree base motion and an LED search light for night-time operations.
Product Features:-
Build-it-yourself robotLearn basic robotics5 motor control handsetDimensions: 22.8cm x 16cm x 38cmNo soldering requiredLED light for night-time operationsPowered by 4 x D size batteries (not included)

Net books seem to be growing even more in popularity these days, but ever wonder what they have over a notebook or vice versa? Can't decide which one to get? Or don't know what the difference is?
Well here is a quick run through of what potentialy could help you make your mind up if you’re looking into buying one or the other or just wanted to expand your knowledge of the portable PC market.
Well here is a quick run through of what potentialy could help you make your mind up if you’re looking into buying one or the other or just wanted to expand your knowledge of the portable PC market.
So let’s go
Straight away the first thing you notice will be the size difference; now laptops are usually considered bigger and therefore more bulkier and clumsier than net books. Know Why Is That You May Wonder? Well it’s all to do with what’s packed into them, so lets go through the specs of laptops and net books in general.
Firstly screen sizes; laptops usually come in 10" to 14" inch, 15" inch and, 16" to 20" inch; net books usually come in 7", 9" and 10" inch screens. So really the step you should take in choosing any one off these two different types of PC is to make your mind up on how big you want or need the screen size to be. In my view the laptop wins that one because it gives you more of a range of screen sizes to choose from. After all you do want to have some amount of input into what you are buying, RIGHT?
Secondly, you may also want to consider the specs of the machine which may be similar to the following:

And sometimes lack in any optical drives at all but instead have 3 in 1 or 4 in 1 card readers.

So in conclusion, they both have their pros and cons. So if you’re looking to buy something to watch hi def and/or blu-ray movies on the go for example while on a train then a laptop/notebook is the way to go, but if looking for something called net-centric computing which may require a lighter, smaller and cheaper PC, then a net book is the best option for you.

Microsoft has formally announced Windows Azure, its on-demand server solution. So what's so great about it? YOU MAY ASK.
Well lets imagine you're somebody like Ticketmaster for example who experience high demand on server time whenever tickets for major preforming artist go on sale.
Now I Know That May Not Sound At All Beneficial To Me You May Say But Like All Good Storeys There Is A Much Better Side To The Plot.
Now, instead of splashing out thousands on (idle) server kits to cope with the demand of rushing fans desperate to get there sugar drenched hands on a take that comeback tore, you can rent it from Microsoft on a pay-as-you go basis whenever the need arises.
I was in London last week to see presentations from various organisations on how Azure can be used to help take excess server strain from their applications, some of whom demonstrated apps already running on the platform, as well as a few that might go over to the blue side.
AhA OK NO THE BEST JOKE BUT YOU CANT BLAME ME FOR TRYING.
